  • Networking is a big aspect. I have almost 40 friends on plex, about 10 of them actively use my library. I also have access to 8 other plex servers in my circle. And I can put all the “latest added episodes” up on my homescreen with a few clicks.

    With jellyfin I’d have to have at least 8 different accounts on 8 different instances.

    And while the social aspect isn’t great, I found a few interesting people by looking at plex reviews of recently airing shows. Or just finding people through “friends of friends”.

    There is a lot of things to be gained by having a central account and a connection beyond just very selective accounts on your own server, it really shouldn’t be that baffling.




  • Where can I view the show/episode description and metadata in the shared folder? Where are my playlist? Where does it safe my watch progress. How can I filter my collection by genre or other advanced options, like available audio languages? Where does it suggest related show? Where is the API to auto sync my watch history to list sites?

    Seriously, if you think a shared folder in the windows explorer can remotely compare to what plex does I have to assume you have never used or even seen the plex interface before.
